I'm proud of my people for being such industrious pirates translators Even when a series isn't famous yet, they pick it up! There'll probably be a project page on Baka-Tsuki soon enough though, since most of the other major Light Novel translations are there already.

I bet Redlar was the "culprit" on starting the thread XD considering that I've seen Redlar's avatar in Baka-Tsuki. Uh, wait, EDIT: It's not Redlar? OMG I'm sorry >.<

Well, way before the Regios thread was opened I started off with the anime thread.

If only, if only reading Kanji is like reading English for me... then I would have started right away no matter how long I will take. Just don't expect for me to be a speedy quality translator even at my best capability.

Or maybe someone with Chinese knowledge can work on the Chinese-translated counterparts.

The only thing that matters right now is whether anyone is willing to take on 'em or not.

EDIT - As I browse the forums, I painstakingly tried to read through the Chinese translations using Google Translate, in which the sentences appear somewhat silly and almost makes no sense to me, but is enough for me to get it.

Yea i saw that baka-tsuki recently picked up the light novels.....VERY excited. From what i've read their is so much more detail in the novels than in the manga, also they are also pretty fast. LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

Actually it seems that the Light Novels has three times better shown character relations and better development than the anime. It's exepted...I hope the next chapter out soon...perhaps patience a good thing

absolutely, and especially Layfon. He's more the reflective and thinking type than talking type like Mifi. His "thinking moments" explain a lot of his actions that aren't explained in the anime. He's strong.... yeah, but he's doing a lot of learning about himself and about his relationship to the people around him. That's the enjoyment of reading the novels..

LN Layfon much more different! Chapter 4 of the first volume translated.

Spoiler for ch4:

The Kei techniques are totally different...internal and external Kei too. Nina's much more clever and currently she's badass.
About the fighting: It's totally different. Nina's plan perfectly works even if they faced some problems cause of the 16th platoon's strange behaviour. There's not even a hint about the 16th platoon's captain. And Nina stands her ground well against 2-3 fighters while Sharnid shoots down the flag. It seems like Layfon's help hardly needed in the end. It made little difference that when he saw that Nina close to her limit he become somewhat serious and pwned 2 students in seconds.
Some more Layfon info:
He got the HB at the age of 14 and he's hardly concentrated on the inter-platoon match. When one of the members from the 16th platoon constatly beated him he thought about his past lifestyle and about GIRLS. Especially Leerin. That he not even saw her as a girl and he still seeing her as a sister at most even after that kiss. Then he listes the possible GF candidates: Nina, Meishen and Co., Felli(in that order)
Even if he's less of a badass i like the LN-type Layfon more

Thanks for Blewin for giving a chance for us who hardly understands japanese(even less it's symbols) to actually read the Light Novels.
